Lokesh Kanagaraj has announced his debut as a lead hero under the direction of Arun Matheswaran, who confirms Bollywood sensation Wamiqa Gabbi will be playing the female lead in the film.
The film is currently in progress, and it will be wrapped up entirely by January 2026. It is being made as a gangster action film. Lokesh Kanagaraj went through some extensive training for the action episodes, and the inclusion of Wamiqa Gabbi as the female lead also suggests that romance will be a key part of the film.
After this film, Lokesh Kanagaraj is likely to make Kaithi 2, and the pre-production works are underway for the most-awaited sequel.
Wamiqa Gabbi has appeared in a few notable Tamil films, like Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam (2016) and the Modern Love Chennai (2023) web series. She will also be seen in upcoming films like Ravi Mohan’s Genie and SJ Suryah’s Iravaakaalam.
